BALLEYDIER 4X4 : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, BALLEYDIER 4X4 achieves revenue of 24.3 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +11.6%. Vs 2023, growth of +136% (10.3 M€ -> 24.3 M€). After deducting consumption (18.2 M€), gross margin stands at 6.1 M€, i.e. a rate of 25%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 2.1 M€, representing 8.6% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+136%), EBITDA varies by +51%, reducing margin by 4.9 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This level of operating margin is satisfactory for the sector. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 1.5 M€, i.e. 6.1% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 2%. This very low level reflects a solid financial structure, offering significant room for future investments or acquisitions. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 67%. This high autonomy means the company finances most of its assets through equity, a sign of strength. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 0.1 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 6.8% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Satisfactory level allowing partial financing of growth.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 297.45. Concretely, the company has €2 of liquid assets for every €1 of short-term debt: no cash risk within 12 months. The interest coverage ratio (= EBIT / Interest expenses) is 0.0x. Danger: operating income does not cover interest charges, unsustainable situation.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 14 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 17 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 3 days. Inventory turnover is 68 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Overall, WCR represents 69 days of revenue, i.e. 4.7 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +235%, requiring additional financing.
